Black Chip Poker review

Black Chip Poker is one of the newest online poker rooms. Powered by the Merge Network, the site is a steadily emerging powerhouse thanks to the skills and knowhow of those behind it. The site is allegedly run by a bunch of old poker players who know exactly how to approach the public and how to sell their online poker room. Black Chip Poker features some very interesting promotions, a nice sign-up bonus, an outstanding VIP rewards program, a bunch of new depositor freerolls and let’s not forget about the Black Chip Poker rakeback either.

There not much to be said about the Black Chip Poker software that hasn’t already been said on other pages of this site. The software is the Merge software most online players (including those in the US) have already gotten to know all too well. The graphics are decent, stability and speed likewise. There are a few interesting unique features like the rabbit hunt feature and the expose one card feature, other than that the Merge package is a standard one in just about every respect. Grinders will love the fact that cash games can be run at 8 tables simultaneously. The game selection is excellent: Besides Holdem and Omaha, the site offers Five Card Draw, Razz, Badugi, deuce to seven lowball and Triple Draw too. Traffic at the non-Holdem tables is currently in its infancy though.

As far as the Black Chip poker tournament offer goes, freerolls stand out quite obviously: There’s one such freeroll offering a $200 prize-pool running every hour, in which every Black Chip Poker player can play. Their bounty tournaments offer nice value too, especially the ones which offer bounties of up to 100% of the buy-in.

The quality of the opposition at Black Chip Poker is said to be decent. The poker room offers games like blackjack, video poker, roulette and backgammon, which means that quite a number of gamblers make their way to the site’s Texas Holdem tables.

Casino players seldom make good poker players, although that may not hold as true now as it used to in the past.
